User's Manual K&F VIDA L Mounting Bracket/Handhold Warning Example 2: When VIDA L speakers are used in combination with VIDA C, note that you can attach the pipe clips laterally only. This single-sided attachment of pipe clips necessitates vertical speaker placement.
User's Manual K&F VIDA L Mounting Bracket/Handhold Example 4: If you want to suspend VIDA L speakers with VIDA C horizontally as an array, be sure to mount pipe clips to both ends of the speaker and fix these appropriately to trusses or rig pipes.
User's Manual K&F VIDA L Mounting Bracket/Handhold Where struts are obstructive, move the mounting brackets/handholds as necessary to vary the pipe-clip positions. Tighten the bolts to a 16 Nm torque. Warning Attach the pipe clips to the truss one by one.

User's Manual K&F VIDA L Mounting Bracket/Handhold Secure the M12 nut by hand- tighten the butterfly nut against the nut. Check all pipe clips carefully for secure fit. Danger! Risk of injury from falling objects! Improperly mounted speakers are not safe for suspending.
This way, they cannot get lost and are always at hand when needed. In addition, the parts are protected at least temporarily against the effects of unfavorable weather conditions, etc. Secure the speaker or array using a VIDA L flying frame, a VIDA L flying bracket, or an appropriate lift before releasing the pipe clips.
Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any residual moisture can escape from the equipment. In addition, protect all system parts and VIDA L accessories from mechanical strains in order to prevent damage. Care and Maintenance For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware that speaker accessories used to fly or mount the speakers are fundamentally safety-relevant.
Warning Be sure to use exclusively the types of pipe clips and pipe clip screws specified for use with the VIDA L mounting bracket/handhold by KLING & FREITAG. Refer to the manufacturer's website indicated below for updates to relevant information.
